BOSCOBEL HOUSE AND THE ROYAL OAK www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/boscobel-house-and-the-royal-oak/schools 31 OF 69 BACK TO CONTENTS CIVIL WAR: PARLIAMENTARIANS VS ROYALISTS TEACHERS’ NOTES REVEALING THE ANSWERS After the class has discussed which side of the conflict they thought each person was on, reveal the answers with the additional information. ROYALISTS ■ Charles I – he was beheaded for treason on 30 January 1649. Although he lost the English Civil War, his son Charles II would eventually be restored as king. ■ Sir Edward Hyde – it was Charles II who granted him an earldom. ■ Dame Mary Bankes – after the siege of Corfe Castle, the Bankes family were stripped of their lands. Mary petitioned Parliament to have these lands restored to her and her family. The lands were restored in 1660. PARLIAMENTARIANS ■ Brilliana, Lady Harley – supported Parliament’s cause, which was difficult when her neighbours supported the monarchy. Brilliana died shortly after the siege on her home was lifted. ■ Sir Thomas Fairfax – he opposed the trial and execution of Charles I. His moderate views meant that he played a part in the restoration and wasn’t punished. ■ John Pym – when he died in 1643, he was buried in Westminster Abbey, which is a huge honour. After Charles II was restored in 1660, his body was reburied in a less prestigious site. BOSCOBEL HOUSE AND THE ROYAL OAK www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/boscobel-house-and-the-royal-oak/schools 32 OF 69 Read the descriptions of the people on this page - do you think they were Royalists or Parliamentarians? HISTORICAL FIGURES FROM THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR CHARLES I OF ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND (1600-49) Charles believed he was anointed by God to rule and felt that the tactics displayed by Parliament during the Short and Long Parliaments were unscrupulous and justified him trying to arrest them for treason. Charles accepted that kings were bound by law, but he felt that Parliament should only be allowed to vote on additional taxes, and only when he summoned them. Charles was faced with open rebellion and treason, which he felt justified him fighting his own subjects. Charles saw himself as a champion of the law and tradition. DAME MARY BANKES (1598-1661) Dame Mary was the daughter of a wealthy landowner and the wife of Sir John Bankes, who was Lord Chief Justice. She led the defence of her home, Corfe Castle, when it was under siege for three years. She was forced to surrender to her enemies when she was betrayed by one of her staff. Her enemies treated her with honour due to her courage. Dame Mary would have had a good understanding of the law and, being the daughter of a wealthy landowning family, would have held traditional views. SIR THOMAS FAIRFAX (1612-71) Sir Thomas was the son of a Yorkshire peer, and became a senior military leader in the English Civil War. He was moderate in his views, but fought for the defence of traditional English values against what he viewed to be an un-English style of absolute government. Continued... www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/boscobel-house-and-the-royal-oak/schools 33 OF 69 BRILLIANA, LADY HARLEY (1598-1643) Brilliana came from a family of wealthy landowners. Brilliana was a Puritan, but her neighbours were not. Brilliana lived at Brampton Bryan Castle and had to defend it during a siege while her husband, Sir Edward Conway, was away. Brilliana was a highly educated woman who knew several languages. Lots of her letters survive today. Brilliana believed in religious freedom, which she felt was threatened. She saw it as her duty to stand up for the social and religious values she believed in. SIR EDWARD HYDE (1609-74) Sir Edward was a lawyer and an MP who was a chief adviser during the English Civil War. He later became Earl of Clarendon and Lord Chancellor. Sir Edward was an intelligent and articulate man who held moderate views. His belief that overturning the natural order would lead to chaos and injustice was shared by the gentry and merchant classes. Sir Edward wrote a book called The History of the Great Rebellion which became a standard account of the English Civil War. JOHN PYM (1584-1643) John was a lawyer and an MP who served the Crown as a tax collector. He emerged as one of the leaders in the English Civil War. John believed in monarchy and had a strong idea of what that should mean. John was a Puritan, and opposed Catholicism as well as what he saw as an attempt at absolute rule. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/boscobel-house-and-the-royal-oak/schools 34 OF 69.

  • Personal Geographies and Liminal Identities in Three Early Modern Women’S Life Writings About War I-Chun Wang Kaohsiung Medical University
    Personal Geographies and Liminal Identities in Three Early Modern Women’s Life Writings about War I-Chun Wang Kaohsiung Medical University 510 Throughout literary history, war has been a recurrent theme in life writing. This arti- cle discusses life writing as an important aspect of comparative literature or world literature, and focuses on three early modern women’s geographical experiences and liminal identities as found in their life writings: Marguerite of Valois (1553-1615), a Catholic and Queen consort of Navarre who served as a supporter of Protestants during the French wars of religion, Queen Henrietta Maria of England (1609-69), and Lady Brilliana Harley (1598-1643), the wife of a Parliamentarian representative of England. These three noblewomen used their writings as means of constructing their identities in the public sphere. While describing the forced transgressions of their gender boundaries, these women reveal their concern for suffering people, and their geographic mobility in uncharted territories in which they came to create for themselves a liminal identity. Marguerite of Valois saved the Huguenots and her husband during a time of religious struggles in Paris. Queen Henrietta Maria’s letters manifest her indomitable attempts to secure ammunition and support for King Charles I of England. Lady Brilliana Harley bravely participated in defending her home/garrison, Brampton Bryan Castle in northwestern England, when it was under siege by Royalist troops. These women contributed to life writing, a genre that traditional literary studies have generally associated with men. Men’s life writings mainly dealt with political ideologies, deci- sion making, and military conflicts with both enemies and lifelong friends.

Border Group Neighbourhood Plan – October 2018 3 1. Introduction Background 1.1 Border Group Neighbourhood Development Plan (the NDP) is a new type of planning document introduced by the Localism Act of 2011. It enables local communities to make a significant contribution to some of the planning decisions about how their areas should be developed. 1.2 Border Group Parish Council made a formal submission to Herefordshire Council to designate the Group Parish as a Neighbourhood Plan Area under the Localism Act 2011, with the intention of preparing this NDP on 28th May 2013. Following a consultation period this was approved on 18th July 2013. This NDP has been prepared in accordance with Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy which was adopted by Herefordshire Council on 16th October 2015. 1.3 In deciding to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan the Group Parish Council was aware of the alternatives which were: i) Not to prepare a plan but rely upon Herefordshire Core Strategy which would allow developers to bring forward sites in any of the settlements as they see fit in order to meet and potentially exceed the target for new housing set for the Group of Parishes.

  • Treason and the State: Law, Politics, and Ideology in the English Civil War D
    This page intentionally left blank Treason and the State This study traces the transition of treason from a personal crime against the monarch to a modern crime against the impersonal state. It consists of four highly detailed case studies of major state treason trials in England beginning with that of Thomas Wentworth, First Earl of Strafford, in the spring of 1641 and ending with that of Charles Stuart, King of England, in January 1649. The book examines how these trials constituted practical contexts in which ideas of statehood and public authority legitimated courses of political action that might ordi- narily be considered unlawful – or at least not within the compass of the foundational statute of 25 Edward III. The ensuing narrative reveals how the events of the 1640s in England challenged existing conceptions of treason as a personal crime against the king, his family and his servants, and pushed the ascendant parliamentarian faction toward embracing an impersonal conception of the state that perceived public authority as completely independent of any individual or group. d. alan orr was educated at Queen’s University at Kingston, the University of Glasgow and the University of Cambridge, where he received his Ph.D. in 1997. He has taught subsequently at Carleton University in Ottawa and Queen’s University at Kingston.

  • Metarepresentation in Lady Jane Cavendish and Lady Elizabeth Brackley's the Concealed Fancies Li
    ‘Come, what, a siege?’: Metarepresentation in Lady Jane Cavendish and Lady Elizabeth Brackley’s The Concealed Fancies Lisa Hopkins and Barbara MacMahon Sheffield Hallam University [email protected] [email protected] The Concealed Fancies is a play written by Lady Jane Cavendish and Lady Elizabeth Brackley, the two eldest daughters of William Cavendish, marquis (and later duke) of Newcastle, during the English Civil War.1 We can feel reasonably certain that the sisters wrote it in the hope that it could be performed; however, that would have required the presence of their father,2 whose return is the climax of the story, from the Continental exile to which he had fled after his comprehensive defeat at the Battle of Marston Moor. The idea of performance must, therefore, always have looked likely to be wishful thinking, and the play remained a closet drama. This was in any case a genre with which it had several features in common, since two of its most celebrated practitioners, the countess of Pembroke and Elizabeth Cary, had set the precedent for female dramatic authorship; moreover, a crucial scene in The Concealed Fancies is actually set in a closet, when the three ‘lady cousins’ pick the locks of Monsieur Calsindow’s cabinet and look through his possessions, and it is at least possible that the sisters envisaged any performance of the play at one of the two family homes of Bolsover or Welbeck as taking place in a promenade style which would have involved moving to an actual closet for part of this scene.

  • History of Parliament Online
    THE HISTORY OF PARLIAMENT TRUST Review of activities in the year 2011-12 July 2012 - 1 - Objectives and Activities of the History of Parliament Trust The History of Parliament is a major academic project to create a scholarly reference work describing the members, constituencies and activities of the Parliament of England and the United Kingdom. The volumes either published or in preparation cover the House of Commons from 1386 to 1868 and the House of Lords from 1660 to 1832. They are widely regarded as an unparalleled source for British political, social and local history. The volumes consist of detailed studies of elections and electoral politics in each constituency, and of closely researched accounts of the lives of everyone who was elected to Parliament in the period, together with surveys drawing out the themes and discoveries of the research and adding information on the operation of Parliament as an institution. The History has published 21,420 biographies and 2,831 constituency surveys in ten sets of volumes (41 volumes in all). They deal with 1386-1421, 1509-1558, 1558-1603, 1604-29, 1660-1690, 1690-1715, 1715-1754, 1754-1790, 1790-1820 and 1820-32. All of these volumes save those most recently published (1604-29) are now available on www.historyofparliamentonline.org . The History’s staff of professional historians is currently researching the House of Commons in the periods 1422-1504, 1640-1660, and 1832-1868, and the House of Lords in the periods 1603-60 and 1660-1832. The three Commons projects currently in progress will contain a further 7,251 biographies of members of the House of Commons and 861 constituency surveys.
